I don't have luxuries like the internet @ my job. I'm a lowly worm. I clean up human feces. Sometimes I have to look thru the feces carefully to count the peanuts it contains. No really.
I know that it may not sound like a very glamorous profession, but I'm rather good at it.
BTW, you misspelled 'should', mister government man...

It would appear that way, wouldn't it?
Nah, work is just slaying me lately (not just workload-wise, but also will-to-live-wise). I'd say next Friday, but I know I'm out of the office. The following? Are you going to Kraftwerk? If so, a round or two are on me for stringing you along.

Tell him how disappointed you were to find out that House Resolution 2112 was not a bill introduced to honor the immense cultural contributions to North American music of Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson.

Tell him how important it is to support the House version of the Transportation Equity Act to secure the full $503 million for the Recreation Trails Program (hiking, mtn biking, equestrian).
The Senate version of the bill is particularly hard on California:
* In California, the difference between the House and Senate version is $12 million, enough to build 1,236 miles of new trails

I am ABSOLUTELY going to ask that and hope that his son gets the joke. If not, Ben Fong-Torres is the MC and he will certainly get it.
